SHADE-ROLLER BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 12, 1905.

Application filed May 3, 1905. Serial No. 258,567.

To 01% whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER HEISTER- KAMP, a resident of Hoboken,Hudson county, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Shade-Roller Brackets, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to window-shade-roller brackets, but may be usedfor any similar purpose, the object being to provide a simple andinexpensive device of this character which will be adjustable, wherebyshades or the like of different widths may be accommodated.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, wherein- Figure 1 illustrates a front elevation of awindow, Window-shade, and adjustable brackets embodying my inventionapplied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of my improvedadjustable bracket. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section thereof, thesection being taken on a line a a in Fig. 2; and Fig. 4is an enlargeddetail perspective view of the nut which secures .the roller-support inplace.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalviews.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 indicates a window-casing ofany suitable design upon which my improved brackets 2 2 are secured,said brackets supporting an ordinary curtain and roller 3. Brackets 2 2are composed of a support or plate 3, in which a longitudinal slot 4 isprovided. Upon the outer side of said support 3 a roller bracket orbearing 5 is secured, said bracket 5 being provided with a base 5 havinga tongue 6 integral therewith, the tongue 6 projecting within the slot 4and having for its object to keep the bracket 5 in alinement or, inother words, to prevent the bracket 5 from any tendency to rotate whilebeing adjusted, and

thereby acting to bind upon the shade-roller spindle. To secure thebracket 5 firmly in place, I employ a bolt or screw 7 which passesthrough the base 5 of said bracket and through the slot 1 and into a nut8 upon the under or inner side of the support 3. The nut 8 is pro-,

vided with a projection 9, which fits within the slot 4, as shown inFig. 3, for the purpose of preventing the rotation of the nut when thescrew 7 is being loosened or tightened. The support 3 is secured to thecasing 1 by means of screws which pass through holes 10. The support 3is oifset at 11 in order to keep the nut 8 away from the casing.

By loosening the screw 7 with a screwdriver, the nut 8 being heldagainst rotation by the projection 9 and the bracket 5 by the tongue 6,said bracket can be adjusted in either direction to accommodate a longor short shade-roller.

It will of course be understood that the brackets 5 may be of the usualconstruction as to openings or bearings, one having a hole therein andthe other a slot.

Having now described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

In a shade-roller bracket, the combination of a support having alongitudinal slot therein, an adjustable bracket upon said support,

a tongue integral with said bracket and adapt-' ed to enter said slot, ascrew or bolt loosely mounted upon said bracket and adapted to passthrough said slot, and a nut carried by said screw, the nut beingprovided with a projection integral therewith which is adapted to entersaid slot and prevent rotation of the nut when the screw is operated.
